Excerpt from Extempore Preaching

The question, of the relative advantages of written or extempore discourses, is of great practical importance to every minister of the gospel. It does not, indeed, rank with matters touching faith and morals; but among the minor considerations affecting the ministerial career, there are few of greater consequence than this.

It is somewhat remarkable that the controversy between these two methods has lasted so long, and is not yet settled. It emerges in the very inception of our Protestant churches.

Hooker, in his Ecclesiastical Polity speaks contemptuously of "Sermons without book; sermons which spend their life in their birth, and may have public audience but once;" while the non-conformists eagerly defended them.

The prejudice of the Scottish Kirk against the use of notes in the pulpit is well known. Still, so exacting are the demands upon the pulpit in Scotland for highly intellectual discourses, that the preachers feel compelled, for the most part, to write their sermons, and at much painful cost commit them to memory.
